Sheet filters get Henkel out of sticky situation

Swansea, UK - Henkel Ireland has recently purchased a substantial number perforated sheet filters, which reports the company, has already resulted in substantial savings as a result of reducing costly downtime.

Henkel Ireland was looking for a filter with a robust design that would be able to remove agglomerated lumps of material from adhesives of varying consistencies and prevent blockages in the filling heads on their packaging lines. Following trials, it selected Axium’s Econ-Screen filter range, which is designed to withstand the high pressures associated with very viscous products

The adhesives manufacturer opted for a range of products manufactured with a 316L perforated sheet screen with a rapid single nut screen change capability and a metal to metal seal. Standard screen sizes include 1000, 2000 and 3000 micron. The filters are manufactured in 316L stainless steel, with a jacketed option also available for product heating or cooling.
